Tom Petty died Monday after being rushed to a Los Angeles hospital, according to Tony Dimitriades, longtime manager of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Dimitriades confirmed Petty's death on behalf of the performer's family.
He was 66.

I'm tuning up my twelve string guitars and playing "free falling", "I won't back down" all day long.
ReplyDeleteA genuine nice guy who stood up to the recording industry, he will truly be missed.
Remember there was a lot of flak over Tom Petty performing at the Superbowl? I was really happy about that.
